YMCA Retread 5K set for Thursday

The 16th annual YMCA Retread five-kilometer run and walk will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, starting at the downtown Flint YMCA.

The entry fee is $18 with a shirt and $10 without. Race-day registration will begin at 5.

Anyone who brings in a pair of old, wearable running or walking shoes will receive a $5 coupon for a new pair at Bauman's Running and Walking Shop, plus a free family guest pass to the YMCA. The shoes will be retreaded and donated -- hence, the name Retread.
